If you travel a lot with a CPAP, this is truly a game changer and this is an excellent price.

A few things to keep in mind:

1. It's substantially louder than your Airsense 10 or 11. The noise is both at the device and the exhalation port where the heat and moisture exchanger (HME) is. You can mitigate this somewhat by placing the machine away from you and lower than the top of the bed to block some of the sounds. Resmed sells a mounting kit that has several option to hang it from a bed or a nightstand. You can also use a different hose and mask that is more quiet, but see item 2 for more on this. There are also some muffler kits out there. I do not recommend these as they have a similar black foam to the kind that degraded in the Philips machines and caused that massive recall from foam dust getting in people's lungs. I also use a white noise app which helps while traveling anyway to cover up the unfamiliar sounds.

2. It uses a nonstandard hose and CPAP connector will not connect to a standard hose. Likewise, the mask end is different as well. You can buy adaptors to allow you to use standard tubing and thus a standard mask, but you lose the ability to use the Resmed heat and moisture exchanger (HME). I find the HME useful and so I just deal with the special hose/mask combo and extra noise. There are some generic HMEs that will fit between a standard mask and hose.

3. The heat and moisture exchangers (HME) are kind of expensive for their relatively long, but limited life (30 days). I've been using some generic cartridges and they've been fine.

4. All configuration is done through an app.

Overall, it's totally worth it as long as you understand the limitations. It's great to travel with something that's smaller than a shaving bag (including the tubing and mask) rather than something the size of a laptop bag. And no searching for distilled water is a huge bonus.

It also runs great on battery, whether you use the Freedom series CPAP batteries or just an another power station. The Freedom batteries are expensive, but they will run one of these resmed airminis for about 2-4 nights depending on your pressure and which battery. They are also FAA-approved since they are in 99 and 160 Wh sizes. (160 may be a problem internationally).

I agree: game changer for those who travel. I've had one for many years and paid over $1k - they are never covered by insurance.

To know for those considering. 1) It is a LOT louder than a home unit. Your breathing will be Vader-like and the machine itself is loud. 2) These are not built as well as the home units. I had one fail under warranty and another early-fail when out of warranty This is a PITA when traveling 3)I use the older style mask humidification filters (needed) and they are VERY expensive 4) Buy the small grey zip case case, and put the unit in the tote at the TSA screening. In your bag=hand inspection and delay 5)Customer service from RedMed is non existent. Not bad, just does not exist 6)The Bluetooth app stores as all your information. My Neurologist adjusted the machine remotely - and to different settings than my home unit. 7) The mask you use while traveling will not last as long as your home mask. In and out of the (included) mask bag greatly accelerates seam failure between the silicone and the hard plastic. Also a PITA when traveling as there is no fix for this.

Knowing what I know, would I buy another one? Yes. And at this price it is an absolute steal. Just know that you are getting very old, not overly reliable, technology and that there will be zero support from the manufacturer. And no, if you are married, I would not recommend this as a home unit (too loud). Plus, common sense, write your name on the unit. I inadvertently dropped mine out of my bag at DCA before a flight. It was recovered by security and returned to me easily

Just bought it with the nasal pillow attachment. Been meaning to pull the trigger on this for a while. I plan on using this on international business travel. The planes are too dry and it's hard to sleep even when in business class. A quick question for the folks who have this, does it come with the hose? I purchased it with the p10 nasal pillow mask. Thank you in advance.
No hose. Also, buy a very short extension cord from Home Depot if you plan to use this on the plane. The heavy wall wart falls out of the outlet in business class

Agree on using the case, but I haven't had the TSA take a second look at my CPAP inside of my carry-on in years. Just in the last few months I've been through OAK, PDX, SLC, PHX, DEN, AUS, DFW, and DAL (some of those several times), and I haven't had any hand inspection. It might be because I use PreCheck, but it seems that CPAPs are commonplace enough they are easily recognized. 10 years ago it was a different story.

It does not come with the hose. Make sure you order the P10 AirMini Setup Kit (which includes the mask and the hose). The regular P10 mask is not compatible.
Thank you. Bummer, I already ordered it with the p10 mask that is in the drop down box. Going to order the kit as well.

I would contact them first. Usually CPAP shops are selling that kit when they bundle instead of just the mask.

yes I received mine 2 days after placing the order and the customer service was excellent because I had to send them my CPAP prescription and the woman received it and had it approved while I waited on the phone.
